Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and the sinking fund. Ask which facilities are available and whether any carry extra charges. Always view the unit in person. Check its condition, layout, natural light and any signs of leaks. Look at the state of the lifts, corridors and car parks, as these show how well the building is maintained. Visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. If you are buying, check the title and confirm that the seller is the registered owner. A lawyer can help with this. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm what is included, such as parking bays and furnishings. Also ask about any house rules set by the management.
